Did you not think that vectra was a bit close to the bikes? Locking up to avoid hitting them??? I wouldn't want to be in there on my GSXR1000.

I think that Porsche owner realises that one of the bikers is going to fall off or be knocked off, and backs off...

I did notice he was pretty keen to chomp up folks arses yeah, far closer than Id dare to go.

Porka man probably didnt trust the vectra's brakes vs his ceramics

Had 5 of my close mates take there toys out to the ring in 06 , poo weather , poured down all the way there , and was not much better when we arrived.
All top , trixced up bikes , Blade / R1 / ZX12 etc etc , all hardcore bikers.

They returned , from that weekend , and said they would never take again , too mental / dangerous with cars and bikes out on track at the same time , with all levels of skill mixed.

A chap did die on Sat AM mind on a bike and it was closed , for a couple of hours, and one of my guys had seen it all happen.

So just for you guys taking bikes , be careful its as Hammond says , potentially a widow maker

i do fancy it but it does look well dodgy mind you the isle of man is also dodgy but it is such a rush

**DazBlackCSL** · 23-01-2009, 01:37 PM

Agreed , but its the Cars / Bike on track /ring that made the guys think twice ..

**glendog74** · 23-01-2009, 06:42 PM

Yeah, i'd love to take a road bike on the Ring but only if it was solely open to bikers!

bryce · 23-01-2009, 06:56 PM
